If your EB-5 investment fails, the consequences vary based on the stage of your application. Before I-526 approval, the failure of the project could result in the denial of your petition and the loss of your investment. After receiving conditional residency, failure to meet job creation requirements can lead to the denial of your I-829 petition, preventing you from removing the conditions on your green card. However, if you have obtained permanent residency, project failure typically doesn’t affect your status unless fraud or misrepresentation is involved.
